Sheriff’s Deputy Eric Gonzales — who faced intense backlash for the bizarrely timed act — was IDed by the Daily Mail as a one-time recipient of a medal of valor for “bravery in the line of duty.”

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah issued new threats against Israel in a televised speech that addressed Israeli-Lebanese negotiations over maritime borders, which also touch on Beirut’s attempt to gain access to part of the northern Karish gas field off the Haifa coastline.

“We’re following up on all gas fields across Palestine,” said Nasrallah. “If you don’t allow firms to extract gas, we’ll flip the table on the entire world. Going to war would be more honorable if the other choice is for the Lebanese to starve.”
